“As
arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be
ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”Psalm
127

Americans
had better start having babies and we better start having them fast.
The “battle for the culture” is in danger of being lost
for lack of ammunition. Apart from absolute Truth, the greatest weapon
or asset any civilization will ever have is children. They are the guarantor
of our American heritage.

But
somewhere along the line, children became a commodity, a luxury if you
will, similar to a plasma TV, or a hot tub. Instead of appreciating
them as a gift from God, (the first purpose of our existence was to
“be
fruitful and multiply”) we have treated them as a burden.
When President Obama referred to his potential future grandchildren
as “punishment”
he was merely reflecting the humanistic view that children were not
really “an
heritage of the Lord,” but rather a burden to be borne as
a duty to marriage.

We
have become so hedonistic
in America…not so much in an intentionally sinful way…but
in a selfish, humanistic way so prevalent in our society. We have become
what Paul warned us about in II
Timothy “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.”
Next to salvation, God’s greatest gift to us is the ability to
procreate, to replicate the image of God through our children who will,
in turn, “speak
with the enemies in the gate.” Our children are the weapon
God has given us to “replenish
and subdue the earth.”

We
love to blame all of America’s problems on the liberals, the Democrats,
the homosexuals, or if that fails, the Devil. Blaming someone else makes
us feel better. We learned that one from Adam, “The
woman YOU gave me…” Let me help us all out here. For
the most part our problems are self-generated, “those
who oppose themselves” Paul called us. Our rejection of Truth
has led to the multiplicity of moral issues we face today and the abandonment
of our children by God.

Come
on now, you can handle the Truth; we have turned marriage into the legal
means by which adults can enjoy sex. God created marriage for the production
of arrows. Remove the potential for conception and the marriage bed
becomes nothing more than a playpen where fleshly urges can be satisfied.
God created sex; He created it to be enjoyed in the marriage bed, but
His obvious purpose was procreation, not pleasure. Biblically, marriage
legalizes sex. Sex, without the possibility of conception, makes the
act pleasure-driven and hedonistic. Pleasure is a wonderful gift of
the sexual union but not the exclusive or sole purpose for it. I believe
God made the sexual union pleasurable so that a couple would bond together,
stay together, and produce many children.

Homosexuals
cannot reproduce and neither can women on “the Pill.” If
the purpose of marriage is to legitimize sex, then why shouldn’t
“sodomite marriage” be legal? Sexual intercourse is about
reproduction, not merely copulation.
Neither homosexuals nor women on the Pill are capable of being fruitful
and multiplying.

In
the past couple of months I have had several discussions with our recently
married daughter and son-in-law. I have been encouraging them to start
a family. My advice flies in the face of all the conventional wisdom
that these two wonderful, Christian, college
graduates have been taught. What is the message that the ‘enlightened”
world of education has been spreading?

Wait.
Wait until you are financially secure. Wait until you own a home. Wait
until you can afford them. Wait until you are sure the marriage will
last. Wait until you know each other better. Wait until you have lived
a little. Plan your family. Be responsible. Wait…

The
Lord says multiply; the world says wait. The Lord says children are
a blessing, the president says they are punishment, and the secular
world says they are a burden on society and even to the earth! The Lord
says a man is blessed when his quiver is full; the world says no more
than two. The fruit of marriage should transform the world but worldly
philosophies
and vain deceit has destroyed the marriage fruit.

We
have bought the lie that God will not provide for the blessings He bequeaths.
We look accusingly at those with large families, laughing at their trading
of material possessions for more kiddos. Because we have “rejected
life” our culture is dying.

Please
watch this video. It is seven minutes long. It shows the consequences
of our spiritual barrenness and why we must begin to have children and
have them now!

For those of you
who will not take the time to view the video allow me to scare you with
information included on it. I cannot verify the facts, but they are
sobering, if true.

•
It takes a fertility rate of 2.11 children per family
to maintain a culture.• No culture has ever reversed the decline once
it reached 1.9.• A rate of 1.3 is impossible
to reverse.• As population decreases so does the cultural
influence.

Europe
is on her last breath. As of 2007 the European fertility rate was 1.38.
France has a rate of 1.8, England 1.6, Greece 1.3, Germany 1.3, Italy
1.2 and Spain 1.1. These numbers are IMPOSSIBLE to reverse. European
culture is toast.

But
Europe’s population is NOT decreasing, thanks to immigration.
But consider this: 90% of all European immigration since 1990 is Islamic.

The
Islamic fertility rate in France is 8.1. Thirty percent of those under
age 20 are Islamic. In southern France there are now more mosques than
churches. In 39 years France will be an Islamic Republic. Well, with
that high Islamic population, I doubt it would continue as a Republic!

In
the last 30 years the Muslim population of Great Britain has increased
from 82,000 to 2.5 million! A thirty-fold increase! There are over 1,000
mosques in that nation.

In
the Netherlands, 50% of all newborns are Muslim and in 15 years half
of the population will be Islamic. Russia’s Muslim population
is now 23 million. One in five Russians is a Muslim. In just a few years
40 % of the Russian army will be Muslim.

The
Belgian government has estimated that by 2025 one third of all European
families will be Muslim….a mere 17 years away. The German government
estimates that there are currently 52 million Muslims in Europe and
that the population will double to 104 million in 20 years.

Closer
to home, Canada’s fertility rate is 1.6 (remember 2.11 is required).
Between 2001-2006 Canada’s population increased by 1.6 million;
1.2 million of which was through immigration. Muslims are the fastest
growing population in Canada.

In
“Christian” America, the fertility rate is 1.6. Because
of Latino immigration, our fertility rate rises to the breaking point
of 2.11. In 1970 there were 100,000 Muslims in America. Today, there
are 9 million! Islamic sources estimate that by 2040 there will be 50
million Muslims living in America.

It
turns out that while Americans were laughing at the primitive culture
that Islam produced, the joke was ultimately on us. While we drove Pontiacs
and took birth control, the Muslims rode camels and had babies. Their
“choice” preserved their culture. America’s “choice”
has killed ours. We have aborted more than 50 million arrows.

Want
to get booed out of your church? Start preaching against birth control.
It flies in the face of the prosperity gospel. Children ARE prosperity.
We have not valued the birth right. Our pulpits have been complicit
in the de-population of Christianity.

Momar
Kadafi is reported to have said, “There are signs that Allah
will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns,
without conquest. We don’t need terrorists, we don’t need
homicide bombers. The 50 million Muslims will turn it into a Muslim
continent within a few decades.”

Our
nation is under an invasion and there is no one standing at the gate
with whom they must speak. We must encourage Christian couples to start
having babies. The future of our nation depends on them. At some point,
as the war intensifies, Christians will reach for arrows to shoot at
the enemy. What will we do when we find our quiver is empty?
